One always reads that to have proof of mailing a letter, it should be sent by certified mail with a return receipt request.
I would like to know whether the following proofs of mailing would be rejected out-of-hand in a court of law and if so why (after all, a postal return receipt proves only that an envelope has been received, not its content, if any):
- A print-out of an e-mail sent through a provider like yahoo.com, which shows the date, the e-mail address of recipient and the text of the message.
- A copy of a fax sent through a public fax service, like kinko's, which shows the date, the fax number where sent, the text of the fax and a confirmation of receipt.
Thank you in advance for your reply.
